Kids on Wheels is a two-volume book geared towards children and parents of children who use wheelchairs as their means for everyday mobility. Volume I: A Young Person's Guide to Wheelchair Lifestyle aims towards grade-school children, helping them build self-esteem and learn about the opportunities available to them. This book is written from the point of view that independence is the most important goal you can have.

Full of real-life stories of children who have succeeded at filling their lives with fun events and activities, this book provides information about different adaptive sports and recreation activities, fun and games, animal therapy, participating in the arts, movies and books, returning to school after an injury, self-esteem, peer advice on friendship, family issues, and much more.

Volume II: A Guide to Wheelchair Lifestyle for Parents, Teachers and Professionals helps adults balance vulnerabilities while empowering the children in their lives who may have a disability. Topics include tips from other families, helping children build self-esteem, support resources, health information, insurance issues, personal assistant services, education, legal issues, transportation, travel, technology, products, clothing, and more. Both of these volumes are full of great resources and are illustrated with very positive images, giving children who use wheelchairs, and the adults that take care of them, useful tools for success.
